SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters PatentNo. 758,433, dated April 26,1904. 7

Application filed November 28,1903. Serial No. 182,433. (No model.)

To al whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWARD FLANNIGAIN, a citizen of the United States,residing at St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Gas- Stoves, of which the following is aspecification containing a full, clear, and exact description, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

My invention relates to improvements in gas-stoves, andhas for itsobject to provide a hood to be used in connection with gas-stoves, thehood being mounted upon a removable stove-top and being provided withmeans for elevating and lowering the tops of pots andis to be applied.The plate 1 is provided with upturned edges 2, and isprovided at itscorners with the lugs 3, in which pins 4 are mounted. Pipe-sections 5are adapted to fitover the pins 4:. A frame 6 is provided at'its,

corners with pins 7, the lower ends of the pins 7 being adapted to-fitwithin the upper ends of the pipe-sections 5. Pipe-sections 8 aremounted upon the upper ends of the pins 7 and are bent inwardly, asshown in Fig. 1. The flue-pipe 9 is provided with radially-projectingpins 10, the pins 10 being adapted to fit within the inner ends of thepipe-sections 8. The sheet 11, which is preferably made of light metal,is then placed about and over the pipe-sections 8 to form a hood toprevent the escape of the fumes from the articles ble- T e frame 6 isprovided with transverse bars 12, which extend above the openings 2. Thepulleys 13 are mounted upon the bars 12. The

chains 14 carry the hooks 15 and extend over the pulleys 13 to eyes 16,to which the ends of the chains 14 may be fastened. The hooks 15 areadapted to engage with the lids of the cooking utensils employed, sothat said lids may be raised from the utensils by means of a pulluponthe chains 14.

The plate 1 is provided about the openings 2 with the upturned flanges17, the flanges 2 and 17 preventing the escape of substances overflowingfrom the utensils during the operation of cooking, thus preventing theescape of such overflow into the gas-burners or upon the floor.

By means of my invention I have provided a readily-removable attachmentfor gas-stoves having means for conducting the fumes of cooking to asuitable place of discharge, having means for raising and lowering thelids of the vessels being used without direct handling of the same, andpreventing the clogging or stopping up of the apertures in thegas-burners of the stove by overflow from the vessels being used.

In addition to the foregoing devicesI have invented aspecially-constructed skillet for use in connection with my improvedgas-stove,

said skillet being shown in Fig. 2, where it is indicated by the numeral18. The base of said skillet is provided around its outer edge with thedepending flange 19, which flange is adapted to fit about the upturnedflange 17.

Having fully described my invention, what .I claim as new, and desire tohave secured to 'me by the grant of Letters Patent, is

1. The improvement in gas-stoves, consist ing of a plate flanged aboutits outer edges,

and provided with circular flanged openings corresponding with theburners of the stove, vertical pipe-sections mounted at the corners ofthe plate, a frame provided with transverse bars and mounted upon thetops of the pipesections, a flue-pipe, and-other pipe-sections extendingfrom the top of the frame to the base of the flue-pipe, substantially asdecorresponding with the burners of the stove, vertical pipe-sectionsmounted at the corners of the plate, a frame provided with transversebars and mounted upon the tops of the pipesections, a flue-pipe, otherpipe-sections extending from the top of the frame to the base of theflue-pipe, pulleys mounted upon the transverse bars. chains adapted toextend over the pulleys to the outer side of the frame, and hooksmounted upon the inner ends of the chains, substantially as described.

3. The improvement in gas-stoves, consisting of a plate flanged aboutits outer edges and provided with circular flanged openingscorresponding with the burners of the stove, a hood mounted above saidplate, a flue leading from said hood, transverse bars carried by saidhood, pulleys mounted upon said bars, chains running over said pulleys,said chains being adapted to connect with the covers of the cookingutensils, substantially as described.

4K. The improvement in gas-stoves, consisting of a plate flanged aboutits outer edges and provided with circular flanged openingscorresponding with the burners of the stove, vertical sections mountedat the corners of the plate, a frame provided with transverse barsmounted upon the tops of the corner-sections, a flue pipe extendingupwardly from said frame, pulleys mounted upon the transverse bars.chains running over said pulleys, cooking receptacles mounted over theburners, flanges depending from said receptacles around the upturnedflanges of said' plate, and covers for said cooking receptacles, saidcovers being attached to the chains, substantially as described.

In testimony whereofIhave signed my name to this specification inpresence of two subscribing witnesses.

EDWARD FLAN'NIGAIN.
